A REIGN OF TERROR.
Going Unpublished.

CHICAGO, January ia Times special
from San Antonio, Texas, says; A reign
of terror exists in the town of Catulls,
eighty miles south of here, the county
seat of Lasalle county. AS result OF
the fatal feuds existing in the community,
County Commissioner Hill and another
man have been shot down and killed in
cold blood within the past month, and
the slayers of both, although perfectly
we'll known, have not been arrested.
Half dozen vigilant committees were
organized TO hunt down the assassins,
but they seem to make no headway, al
though 1t is understood that the murder
ers have never left Lasalle county. The
town is practically under martial law,
and business is almost suspended. In
fact, so great is the feeling Of insecurity
that many are deserting the village for
fear of losing their lives. Captain
Schmidt has company of State rangers
who patrol the streets night and day to
prevent an outbreak of hOstilities be-
tween the two factions into which the
community is divided

HASKED TRAIN ROBBERS.
Daring Crime Near Pittsburg.

PrTTsBURG. January 15.-Fiye masked
robbers boarded Pan Handle freight
train near Sheridan station just at the
outskirts of the city last night, but they
were detected in the act Of throwing
freight from the moving train, and in
desperate fight which ensued, Fireman
Curley was shot through the right thigh,
and a brakeman was knocked senseless
with stone. The trainmen then gave
up the fight to attend to the in
jured men, and the thieves escaped.
The train was loaded with merchandise
and express matter, and when nearing
Sheridan tunnel the engineer noticed that
his train was dragging Upon inyestiga-
tion It was found that the brakes had been
set on three cars The train was stopped
and the robbers, surmising what was up,
Jumped from the cars. A hand-to-hand
struggle followed, but the robbers soon
gave up the fight and started to run.
Fireman Curley and brakeman
gave chase, and were fast run
ming their game down, when the
pursued turned upon their pursuers, and
while one shot Curley, the other knocked
the brakeman senseless with stone.
The injured men were carried back to
the train and their wounds dressed.
Curley bled profusely, but was not fatally
wounded Guns, ammunition, etc, which
the thieves had thrown from the cars,
were found nearly mile back from
the point where the robbery was dis
covered. 1t is supposed that the brakes
were set by the thieves to prevent fast
running while they were engaged in
distributing their plunder along the line
of the road
